Every now and then, a network just gets things right. When the first season of Jane the Virgin came out on The CW in 2015, it was an instant hit. The show follows the Villanueva family, consisting of Jane, Xiomara, and Alba. When Jane finds out she's pregnant, her world practically stops turning. “Why?” you may ask. Well, Jane is a virgin, so, at this point, the only explanation is immaculate conception or, what it actually is, artificial insemination. This hilarious drama comedy takes elements of a telenovela and has audiences glued to their screens for the entire five seasons.

Sadly, the show ended in 2019, with a finale that had us melting and crying all at once. Even though it has been a few years, the beloved characters are still in our hearts. However, once the show ended, keeping up with Jane (Gina Rodriguez), Raphael (Justin Baldoni), Michael (Brett Dier), and everyone else in the cast is definitely harder. When a show ends, audiences might lose track of what the cast might be doing. If you are a fan of Jane the Virgin, we have an update for you on what the cast has been up to since the last season wrapped up on The CW.

9 Gina Rodriguez

Gina Rodriguez, best known in her career so far as the titular character in Jane the Virgin has been keeping herself busy since the show ended in 2019. Not straying away from her romantic comedy roots, Rodriguez played Anne in the 2022 movie I Want You Back from Amazon Prime. Rodriguez will also star in a new series called Not Dead Yet as well as a few projects in animation. Also, in an article from E! News, Rodriguez is reported to be taking a part in a reboot of the popular children's movie franchise Spy Kids.

8 Justin Baldoni

Justin Baldoni, better known by Jane the Virgin fans as the Rafael Solano has had his career age like fine wine since the end of the romantic comedy series. Baldoni has grown into his own as a director, helming the hit drama romance movie Five Feet Apart starring Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson. Baldoni has also been chosen to direct the movie adaptation of author Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel It Ends With Us. Outside of acting and directing, Baldoni hosts a podcast called The Man Enough Podcast, which tackles toxic masculinity and exploring vulnerability as a man in society today.

7 Yael Grobglas

Petra Solano, played by Yael Groblas, has gone through one of the most striking character arcs in the entire run of Jane the Virgin. From the cunning and absolutely ruthless wife/ex-wife of Raphael to Jane's honorary sister, Groblas beautifully portrays this iconic character. In her career today, Groblas plays America Singer in The Selection, the movie adaptation of the popular trilogy by Kiera Cass. The film also stars Vampire Diaries actor Michael Malarkey, Arden Cho, and Narnia actor William Moseley.

6 Brett Dier

Brett Dier a.k.a Michael Cordero in Jane the Virgin was a corner of one of the best love triangles in TV history, and the subject of one of the craziest plot twists in the show. Dier's career after Jane the Virgin ended should be taken note of: Dier has most recently been featured in the hit thriller horror movie Fresh on Hulu. The movie stars Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

5 Ivonne Coll

Our favorite grandma and almost always the voice of reason, Alba Villanueva was played by Puerto Rican actress Ivonne Coll. We are used to Coll playing the sweet, wholesome, and Jesus-loving head of the Villanueva household. However, her acting career stretches beyond just that, having roles in the show Lucifer and Fancy Nancy.

4 Andrea Navedo

Xiomara as a key piece in the heart and soul of this show. Although Jane the Virgin is a romantic comedy to its core, the greatest love story happens to be between the mother and daughter bond between Jane, Xiomara, and Alba. Xiomara is played by Andrea Navedo. Since the show ended, Navedo has had roles in the animated show Elena of Avalor. If you loved Jane the Virgin, make sure you keep an eye out on ay future projects she may be a part of.

3 Jaime Camil

Jaime Camil (Jaime Federico Said Camil de Saldanha da Gama) is a Mexican actor who, in Jane the Virgin, plays Jane's father, Rogelio Dela Vega. Camil's background as a comedic actor made fitting into his role in Jane the Virgin absolutely perfect, with a combination of heartfelt moments and ones that had us laughing out loud. Recently, Camil has been active in the entertainment world, having recently signed a deal for a Spanish-Language development deal with Paramount+ and playing Doc Lopez in the musical comedy Schmigadoon! from Apple TV+.

2 Diane Guerrero

Diane Guerrero made occasional appearances throughout Jane the Virgin's run as Jane's spritely best friend, Lina. However, this is not her most notable role in her career. You probably recognize her from Netflix's hit drama series Orange is the New Black. She also voiced character in both Disney's Encanto and Elena the Avalor. Guerrero is currently playing Crazy Jane on the comedy drama series Doom Patrol. Outside of acting, Guerrero is a known activist for immigration reform after her family, per NPR, was deported to Colombia.

1 Jenna Ortega

If you were wondering where the future of Hollywood is going, just take a look at what's coming up for Jenna Ortega. In Jane The Virgin, Ortega made regular appearances in flashback of Jane's life as a younger version of the main character. After this, she did not come close to slowing down. In fact, Ortega landed an incredible role as Ellie Alves in Netflix's thriller series You as well as starring in her own drama film alongside Maddie Ziegler called Fallout. If you are interested in what she has coming next, Ortega will be starring as the beloved Wednesday Adams in the upcoming Netflix horror comedy Wednesday.
